Faking

Some pains just don't die. No matter how hard you let go of it, some pains just stay.

Some pains just don't die a natural death. A lot of them don't die at all. And most of the time, you're left with no other choice but to fake it. You show the world that life must go on, and that you have everything right under control.

But sometimes our facades aren't that perfect. Sometimes friends will catch us just staring blankly in space, or humming a sad tune alone, or sometimes sad words just slip by. You immediately say "oh I got that from a movie" or "it's someone else's story, not mine---me? in pain? no way"

Some pains just don't die. Some you bury alive--- but and it calls your name over and over again, haunting you every second, every minute of every f*cking day.

Giraud Saved from Idol Elimination *whew thank God...

Im so glad Matt Giraud got saved from idol. I think he deserves a couple of more weeks, Simon was right, he doesn’t have any chance of winning the title. Personally I think he deserves a spot in the top 5 alongside Allison Iraheta, Chis Allen, Daney Gokey and Adam Lambert.

If this would happen to be this year's top 5, then this is going to be the BEST top 5 ever.

I'm bored with Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai. I am positive Lil Rounds and Anoop will leave next week. I woudnt be shocked.

Photographs and Marriages

I got this from Yahoo today and I found it really interesting. The article talks something about the relationship between your yearbook picture (or old photographs at that) and the success of your marriage. Read on:

If you want to know whether your marriage will survive, look at your spouse's
yearbook photos. Psychologists have found that how much people smile in old
photographs can predict their later success in marriage....(Scoring was based on the stretch in two muscles: one that pulls up on the mouth, and one that creates wrinkles around the eyes.)

In a second trial, the research team asked people over age 65 to provide
photos from their childhood (the average age in the pictures was 10 years old).
The researchers scored each person's smile, and found that only 11 percent of
the biggest smilers had been divorced, while 31 percent of the frowners had
experienced a broken marriage.

Overall, the results indicate that people who frown in photos are five times more likely to get a divorce than people who smile.

I would like to think that this is because the happy ones tend to pair up with other happy individuals thus they would end up both happy being together.

I went out of my way to look at my old yearbook pictures.








If this study were 100% credible, than looks like someone here's gonna have one helluva happy marriage. *grins*

I had my share of scary stories today…

Over lunchbreak, Adong, Jessica and I shared scary stories--- it felt a bit weird coz we usually chat about men and sex and poop. I am all freaked out now coz I can't take the stories off my head.

This should be the perfect time to watch T2 with my Bunbun...

Saving the Best and The Worst for Last

I'm back from my 9-day trip to Palawan and from the airport I went straight to the office to work. I woke up around 5AM so I could wake all the other guys up for the most exciting part of the trip--- a trip to one of the Greatest Natural Wonders of the world, the Palawan Subterranean River.

We finished the trip before lunch and I was already feeling a bit groggy as our driver brought us back to the city--- I think we were on the road for more than a couple of hours. I would've wanted to sleep in the car but the view outside was just to awesome to miss. And besides, this is my last day in Palawan so I better have my spare bio-battery activated.

We then had a trip to the city's palengke to buy our pasalubongs. It was hot, and I was sweating all over. My white no longer looked white. The palengke is a jungle~ anything can happen within the next couple of hours so there was no way for me to stay tatanga-tanga.

At this point my biggest ambition in life was just to be in bed with my big pillows and the aircon at super-cool mode.

We arrived at the Puerto-Princessa Airport 2 hours before our flight because there was nothing else to do in the city. I thought I could rest but the waiting lounge was packed I could barely raise a leg.

We took the afternoon flight and arrived at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport a couple of hours before my shift, just enough for me to brave the evening city traffic heading home and take a super-quick shower. I didn’t even have the time to unpack my pasalubongs.

I am now sitting at my desk, light-headed and on my nth stick. I think I'm gonna puke in a few seconds.
